Is this true that the big show was in Cancun ?
If it was that has to be one of the biggest waste of share holders coin doesn’t it ?
Or is it all made in Mexico??? Hmmmm

The dealer release shows are never in Canada as far as I know... anyone else has input on this?

In them hills.
Actually makes alot of sense.

Nice holiday for the dealers and their families that they can write off.

Secondly it is way closer to the factory, saves on trucking.

I thought only the ATVs were manufactured in Mexico. North American sleds are all built in Quebec. Or was that sarcasm?

BRP has always tried to have the dealer show in an exotic locale for the dealers. They realize that alot of them never get the chance to take a holiday with thier business's being busy year round. Usually in places like Florida, Mexico, Texa and Lousiana from all the ones I went to over the years.

Great Idea! Is it a dealers only invite? It would be a cool experience.

In fairness to BRP, it is easier and faster to fly from Saskatoon to Cancun than it is Saskatoon to Montreal. Direct flight!

I'm sure a person could grease the palm of a Mexican at the door...
Gotta have the wrist band or you'll never get past security. Lol. Seen Rene St Onge there one year. Courtenay Motorsports must have brought him down as their sub dealer?

Still say a complete waste of money and then we wonder why sleds are up to $20000 plus .
Has to come from someplace .
They have the ATV / UTV in Europe ? Lol

them 20g+ turbos paid for Mexico. BRP is smart, had to jack the price a bit to offset flights an accommodations.

Sheesh!!.....is nobody allowed to enjoy life anymore without others bitching?.....I'm sure the cost that each dealer pays to attend covers the costs of putting on this event. I highly doubt the trip affects your price of the sleds.

As far as i know, the bulk of the cost is on the Dealership but Snopro can correct me on that one.
You are correct Sean. At the start back in the day they would put you up in a nice hotel, feed and wine and dine you and all you were responsible for was your fights. Now the dealer pretty much pays for everything with the exception of a couple meals and a couple free beers (if you drink fast enough) at the unveil. Its expensive now to go to a show.
